This restaurant is famous for having ‘more than 100’ kinds of dumplings.  Of course, no one can eat 100 dumplings, so they have three fixed price options.  I asked what the difference was between the menus, and the server responded the the more expensive options were more delicious.  We opted for the middle tier of deliciousness which was about $20/person for 20 or so different dumplings.

The first photo is of a chef saying ‘no photos please!’ as I try to photograph the 50 people in the dumpling assembly room.  The last photo is of the ‘tiny baby dumplings’ in soup that came as the last course.

In between: pork, walnuts, duck, pigeon, chicken, shrimp, crab roe, durian, etc.
